Memorandum


The potential impact of this bill is unknown. Even an expedited process with the Division of Personnel, there are still systems in place within DOH and OASIS that will have to be considered. I would recommend that the Department of Highways and the Division of Personnel develop a pilot project with the approval of the State Personnel Board for a period of one year to develop and test the process being recommended in the bill.
